Harry Kane is set to face Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since he missed this fixture last season as he tried to force through a move to Pep Guardiola's side.
Spurs played host to City on the opening weekend of the 2021/22 Premier League season, just five weeks after Kane's England lost the Euro 2020 final. As fellow Three Lions stars Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling lined-up for City, Kane was absent from the Tottenham squad amid strong rumours over a move away.
But Spurs did not need Kane on the day as Son Heung-min's individual strike proved to be the difference as the reigning champions started with defeat. Many thought that was further indication that City needed to bring in an out and out No.9 before the summer transfer window closed.
